Description

Aesthetics, in the scope, refers to the qualities of the sounds used in a particular design, namely the artistic qualities. Defining the sound Aesthetics in a game implies, for instance, that all sounds share the common characteristics inherent to such Aesthetics. Being so, it augments the coherency of particular decisions. In that vein, it may call for a study on the Acoustic Ecology of the game.

The Aesthetics of sound can reinforce that of the other elements in the game (as it can defy it, should that be the
purpose). Aesthetical decisions may be based on a multitude of motivations. They usually convey an artistic option and may serve the intention to create an association to a context (such as time, place, technology, culture, ...), support a mood (by being dark, cartoonish, childish, silent, intense, …), explore a particular approach to the composition of sounds being used (minimalist, subjective, musical, non-musical, realistic, …), etc.
